Intro

I've been a restless,

for a long, long time

Tryin' to find a home

 for this heart of mine

 The nights are lonely,

and the days are long

It’s hard to find a reason,

 to carry on

But all this searchin',

 is it ever gonna end?

Must I keep on losin',

 again and again?

 Tell me, how long can a man be strong?

How long must he carry on,

 without the love of a woman,

 to call his own?

 Tell me, how long can a man be strong ?

It’s on every man’s mind,

to find that special girl

Some of them getta lucky

 But I'm alone in this world

 Still I know she’s out there somewhere

 so I’m gonna keep on tryin’

Someday I’m gonna find her,

 it’s just a matter of time

As long as I’ve been waiting,

 I know she’s been waiting, too

Hold on a little longer baby,

 I’m on my way to you

 Tell me, how long can a man be strong?

How long must he carry on,

 without the love of a woman,

 to call his own?

 Tell me, how long can a man be strong ?

Won't Ya tell me,

How long can a man be strong?

Now ever since this world began,

it takes a woman to make a man

 And I need someone!

 Don’t you know I need someone? Yeah!

Solo

Ooh but all this searchin’,

 is it ever gonna end?

Must I keep on losin’,

 again and again and again?

 Tell me, how long can a man be strong?

How long must he carry on,

 without the love of a woman,

 to call his own?

 Tell me, how long can a man be strong ? Yeah!
